[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I forget: Were the tests given at the end of last year or the beginning of this school year? [/quote]
Beginning of this year in September after a summer of forgetting whatever they managed to learn. Abbreviated test and only required to sit, not pass anything. In other words, completely useless for understanding actually where kids are. The results from this spring will be more meaningful. I still expect a drop from prepandemic but not the ridiculousness of last fall’s testing.[/quote]

I'm an ES parent so I've not really be following this. Is it actually a comparison of tests given at the end of the course in previous years with one given the school year after they took the course for last year? Because that really doesn't seem like a meaningful comparison at all.[/quote]

Yes, and it’s a different test as well. Which is, at least in part, why they didn’t require kids to pass the usual subject tests they needed in order to graduate (Algebra, and I forget what else). They only had to pass the course, and at least sit for the test. [/quote]
